If there is something I learned this year is that in those moments when you feel sad and falling apart, you have to stop, analyze what is making you feel that way and really ask yourself if it's worth to keep it in your life.

Be honest with yourself. If you know exactly if that person/thing/situation aren't making you any happy, why keep it? Step politely aside.

Do never feed from something that consumes you at the same time. Love yourself enough to know it's enough and move on.

I've been away for  a while and I'm not quite sure what to say..

The week after my last exam was spent in total hibernation, to recharge my brain batteries. Dolce fare niente.
I saw the 1st season of Dexter and liked it. I'm almost finishing the 2nd one now..
So the weekend before my 2nd semester of classes started I made myself get out of the house. On saturday, I went to street protest (as I showed the last post) and on sunday, I went to the paddock with Rebeca to meet Andreia, who usually hangs there.
We helped them to gave the antiparasitant to the poneys and the foals which were quite wild.. and since we were there.. We also rode a bit a really sweet horse they have there.

Here some random pictures of these past days..

Today 259.000 portugueses got out on the street to show their discontentment with our government!
From all parts of the country, from all ages, all social status, all religions, all political views, all colors and all origins. People are clearly unhappy.
E agora que me perdoem, mas falarei na minha língua. Foi um orgulho participar neste movimento, neste mar de gente que luta em uníssono por um futuro melhor para todos. Muito obrigada.



Rui Veloso, a great portuguese singer. 

  


 

 
Guilherme Leite, a portuguese actor.

 
Being a part of that sea of people was quite a sensation.

And, of course, yours truly. Plus Rebeca, André and Sara.

So I received this call out of nowhere and it was Navz:
"Where are you?" he said.
"I'm at home, why?"
"Came outside!"
I grabbed my coat and there he was with puppy Sam! And that totally made my day.
Sam recognized me and he is so grown up now. Still a kid inside, but huge outside. Aw..
He walked all the way from his house to mine, at 9pm. It was cold as hell but we took a walk at the park near my house.

I have an exam on Friday, but I'm so not into studying right now.. It's being so hard to stay focus with this lovely sunny weather outside. And not doing my work efficiently leaves me very frustrated.. :\
Here are some random shots from the last few days..


I used to play with these, it was one of my mum's toys. Very vintage.

The flowers I have on my porch. Welcome Spring, my favorite season of the year!
